2007 LEXUS IS 350 Unknown Or Other Problems

SURFACE OF DASHBOARD PLASTIC MATERIAL MELTED IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SEAT AND BECAME SHINY, CAUSING GLARE WHICH IS BLINDING THE DRIVER WHEN DRIVING IN FULL SUNLIGHT. THIS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF LAST YEAR, IN SPITE OF THE CAR BEING KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND NOT EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I LEARNED THAT TWO LAWSUITS WERE FILED AGAINST TOYOTA/LEXUS IN 2014 AND 2017 AND MY CAR IS AMONG THOSE TOYOTA/LEXUS ACCEPTED UNDER A "CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM" (ZE6) TO REPLACE ABOUT 3.5 MILLION DASHBOARDS THAT MELT, BUT SINCE THIS WAS NOT A RECALL I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF IT. I AM REQUESTING TOYOTA/LEXUS TO REPLACE MY MELTING DASHBOARD FREE OF CHARGE AS THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD - PICTURE ATTACHED.

THE FOOT REST NEXT TO THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATION BROKE-OFF (ITS PLASTIC) AND LODGED BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FLOOR BOARD. LUCKILY I WAS NOT MOVING AT A HIGH SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP.

WELL FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THE INTERIOR ( DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS-ALL FOUR) WERE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL; THEY ALL HAD THIS STICKY RESIDUE ON THEM. THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE DASH BOARD BUT NOT THE DOOR PANELS. IT HAS BEEN QUIET SOME TIME AND WHENEVER I CALL ALL I EVER GET IS THAT THEY HAVE 3 PANELS AND THEY'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE FOURTH ONE TO COME IN. I'VE EVEN CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF LEXUS AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THIS EITHER. THE PLACE WHERE I TAKE MY CAR TO IS CHATHAM PARKWAY LEXUS LOCATED @ 1120 CHATHAM PARKWAY, SAVANNAH, GA. 31405 (912) 231-0005.

THERE ARE 2 RECALLS THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SERVCO LEXUS OAHU HAVE TO BE DONE AT A DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS I LIVE ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII AND THERE IS NOT A DEALERSHIP ON THIS ISLAND SO I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SHIPPING OF MY VEHICLE TO THE THE DEALERSHIP ON THE OTHER ISLANDS, EITHER MAUI, OR OAHU. I HAVE ARGUED WITH THEM SAYING IT IS THERE RESPONCIBILITY TO FIX THE CAR AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THEM FIX THEIR MESS. I WAS TOLD BY AN ASSISTANT MANAGER AT SERVCO LEXUS OAHU, THAT IF I READ MY OWNERS MANUAL I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS.DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO HAS READ THEIR OWNERS MANUAL FRONT TO BACK BEFORE THEY BOUGHT A CAR, NEW OR USED, WHAT IF SOMEONE BUYS A USED CAR AND THERE IS NOT A MANUAL IN...

TAKATA RECALL I AM HAVING ISSUES REGARDING GETTING THIS FIXED AS WELL AS MY DASHBOARD AND DOORS AS THEY ARE MELTING AND CRACKING AWAY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OVER THE LAST YEAR TO GET THIS RESOLVED I STILL HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. IT'S BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO SEE WHEN DRIVING DUE TO THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AND NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IT IS LITERALLY FALLING APART DAY BY DAY.

THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO RECALL THE DASHBOARD IN THESE VEHICLES, THEY BECOME VERY SHINY AND STICKY IN THE HEAT AND CAUSES EXTREME GLARE WHILE DRIVING. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HOW THE VEHICLE SAFETY WILL BE AFFECTED BY SUCH A STICKY SURFACE COVERING THE AIR BAGS. LEXUS DEALERSHIP WAS OF NO HELP, THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! *JS
